Weekly Volunteer Update

Hi everyone,

It’s been a very busy week around here and volunteers and fosters are really stepping it up: we are all very grateful.

Couple new opportunities:

  • Cat cuddling at the office in the new office cat room. We've got spots almost daily for cat cuddling and cleaning. Let me know when you’d like to come in.
  • Maddie’s Adoptathon June 1-2nd. Planning ahead for this one, because it’s an all-hands on deck kind of affair. More details will be coming soon, but go ahead and start letting me know if you’re free either or both of these two days, as I can guarantee that we will need you!

And have you heard about the CatVidFest? It’s one of those newfangled internet-meme types of things happening on May 11th in Oakland and Hopalong will be there.

Cool adoptions this week: Two kittens at Your Basic Bird who were literally there less than ½ hour before getting adopted! This may be a new record.

New feature on the blog: Donation Wishlist! (I know I’m demanding, but now that I've gotten you used to the Volunteer Database, bookmark and start checking out this blog on the regular! I’m keeping this as up-to-date as possible in order to keep the emails to a minimum. Feedback welcome.) This week, we’re featuring KITTEN FOOD requests. Those things are already eating everything in sight and we’re just warming up!

Special thank you’s to Joanne for a couple last-minute drives, to new volunteers Alexia and Julie for stepping up for PetCo shifts! Also thank you to foster Ben for taking that crazy cute hound. Right??

Have a great rest-of-week!
